Two people walked in together.
The man was tall and strapping and his face was cold and handsome. Even if he did not deliberately put on a straight face, he still had the aura of a man in power. His noble temperament and cold aura seemed to be emanating from his bones.
He wasn’t dressed very formally because his black suit jacket was draped over the girl beside him. He was only wearing a white shirt. He did not wear a tie and his top two buttons were loose. He looked calm and arrogant.
The girl beside him had naturally curly black hair that reached her waist. Other than the man’s suit jacket, she was wearing an exquisite pink long gown.
Perhaps it was because the weather was cold, she had specially worn a dress that was customized to keep her warm. Although it had a low-collar, the hemline of the dress dragged on the floor.
The gown was pink and youthful-looking. The style was very stylish so she didn’t look petty in it. Her aura of a wealthy family’s daughter was vividly displayed.
The girl was beautiful and had a sincere smile on her face. Her curious eyes were looking around.
She was beautiful and lively.
She was beautiful, had a good figure, and a good temperament. She had the liveliness of a young girl and also had an innocence that was not tainted by the secular world.
Her appearance was very eye-catching.
So this was the legendary eldest daughter of the Yan Family in North City!
She was completely different from the rumors about her.
A country bumpkin girl was not presentable?
After today, no one would think that way anymore.
No wonder Master Nine treated her so specially.
Standing together with Master Nine, they were simply a match made in heaven!
Seeing this scene, everyone present had different thoughts.
There were exclamations, envy, curiosity and even jealousy and indignation.
“Isn’t Eldest Miss Yan and Master Nine being too high-profile? Look at these daughters of wealthy families. If it wasn’t for Master Nine’s dignity, they would probably kill Eldest Miss Yan with just their glares,” Luo Qiu, who had followed the Yu Family to join in the fun, whispered to Luo Yikun.
“They’re not being high-profile. Actually, they appeared in the same way as others. It’s just that some people are simply dazzling,” Luo Yikun said calmly.
Luo Qiu did not comment.
That was true. Master Nine alone was already dazzling enough. In addition, these people in the capital had been very curious about Miss Yan for the past few months. The two of them appearing at the same time naturally attracted everyone’s attention.
However, there was nothing to criticize about their temperament and looks.
The crux was that Eldest Miss Yan was actually not suppressed when she stood beside Master Nine and that was very rare. She clearly looked like an innocent girl at a glance. She really didn’t know where Eldest Miss Yan’s aura came from to actually make her and Master Nine look similar when they stood together.
Just as Luo Qiu was lamenting, Luo Yikun reminded her again, “There will probably be a big show in the Min Family later. We don’t have to interfere. We just have to stand quietly in the crowd and watch the show.”
“When immortals fight, the little ghosts suffer. We might be implicated if we’re not careful. If your grandfather didn’t insist on bringing you to such a top-notch family’s banquet, I really don’t want you to come to the Min Family to join in the fun.”
“However, since you’re here, just stand further away later. Putting everything else aside, attending a banquet of such a top-notch family does increase your knowledge.”
Luo Qiu knew very well that Luo Yikun had put in a lot of effort for her.
Hence, Luo Qiu was still very touched when she heard Luo Yikun’s words. However, other than feeling touched, she was also a little puzzled.
“I know. There are many important people attending these banquets. A small fry like me shouldn’t get myself noticed. Second Brother, don’t worry. If there’s really a big show, I’ll watch it far away. However, Second Brother, how did you know that there will be a big show at the Min Family’s banquet later?”
Luo Yikun paused and his eyes flickered. “I naturally have my ways. Don’t care so much. Just remember my words.”
“Alright.”
The host family naturally had to go over to greet Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu.
No family dared to not give Yin Jiujin face now.
Actually, other than the host family who was going over to greet them, some guests were also tempted and wanted to go forward to curry favor.
It was mainly because it was difficult to see Master Nine usually.
However, Master Nine was too dignified and what he had done previously had shocked a lot of people. Therefore, no one dared to act rashly now.
Min Guili and Min Nan, who were greeting the guests, saw Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin. They glanced at Min Rufeng at the same time and then their gazes met for a second. They understood the meaning in each other’s eyes before walking forward to welcome Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin.
It was already very embarrassing for Min Guili to lose his power and be forced to stay at home. Furthermore, in this circle, there were many people who valued interests above all else. Min Guili and his son were embarrassed to show their faces, but were forced to show their faces at tonight’s banquet. Otherwise, it would only ruin their impression in others’ hearts. Hence, they braced themselves and came out to chat with these guests.
They were already angry to see that those people who used to curry favor with them were either ignoring them or dealing with them perfunctorily. To make things worse, Min Rufeng’s situation was exactly their opposite.
Many people went to curry favor with Min Rufeng.
Min Rufeng’s glory was in stark contrast to their sorry state, making them even angrier.
That was not all. Ever since Min Rufeng was getting more and more famous, Min Guili and Min Nan began to have the intention to kill him. But after failing to find people to assassinate Min Rufeng a few times, they no longer dared to make any moves easily.
Min Nan only looked for Min Guili to discuss when he saw that Yan Jinyu and Min Rufeng were on good terms at Mei Feng and Yan Jinyu’s skills had completely shocked him. They decided to find someone who had cooperated with them in the past to help get rid of Min Rufeng.
However, after so many days, the other party still didn’t reply. They became even more flustered and angry.
They were in a terrible mood now.
However, they had to endure it and dared to show it at all.
“Jin’er is here too?” Min Guili tried to curry favor.
At this moment, Min Xiangbei, the protagonist, led Min Ting forward too.
Min Xiangbei was rather happy to see Yin Jiujin. “Jin’er, long time no see.”
However, Yin Jiujin didn’t even glance at Min Guili. He only nodded slightly at Min Xiangbei. “Second Uncle.” After that, he had no intention of responding to Min Guili.
The scene was…
…a little awkward.
Min Guili’s smile froze on his face.
If it was in the past, Min Xiangbei might have helped Min Guili smooth things over. But after knowing that Old Master Min’s death was very likely related to Min Guili today, Min Xiangbei naturally wouldn’t treat him with the same attitude as before.
“Second Brother, Eldest Miss Yan.” Min Ting was usually playful and rarely had a serious attitude when interacting with others, but his greeting now was not perfunctory at all.
He was very sincere.
Be it towards Yin Jiujin or Yan Jinyu.
Everyone’s attention was on Yan Jinyu again.
However, they only saw a faint smile on her face as she stood beside Yin Jiujin. She was also curious about everything. Other than that, there was nothing else. She seemed to be too naive, giving people a sense of fearless ignorance.
Min Nan wanted to greet him too, but after hearing Min Ting address Yin Jiujin, he swallowed his words.
His expression was very ugly.
He was the eldest son of the Min Family. Min Ting, the Third Young Master of the Min Family who was a “good-for-nothing”, called Yin Jiujin “Second Brother”, but he had to call him “Master Nine”.
He could not afford to lose face in front of so many people!
Min Xiangbei sized Yan Jinyu up.
Facing his gaze, Yan Jinyu didn’t dodge and even smiled at him sincerely. This made Min Xiangbei’s impression of her increase greatly.
Whether she was naive, ignorant, or really brave, she was indeed not afraid at all.
He nodded in satisfaction and said kindly, “You’re the Yan Family’s Little Yu, right?”
“Yes. Hello, Mr. Min.”
“There’s no need to be so polite. Just call me Second Uncle like Jin’er.”
Yan Jinyu glanced at Yin Jiujin before saying politely, “Second Uncle.”
“Mm-hm, it’s good that you’re here. There are many people of your age at the banquet. Little Yu, you can interact with them more. There’s no need to be reserved.” Min Xiangbei was reminding Yan Jinyu to get to know more people in the capital’s high society so that she could have an easier time in the capital in the future.
However, Min Xiangbei’s words made Min Ting cough dryly.
Her father was worried for nothing. Even if she didn’t make friends with anyone, who would dare to bully her, the number one killer on the Assassin Ranking?
Yan Jinyu smiled and glanced at Min Ting before nodding at Min Xiangbei, “I will. Thank you, Second Uncle.”
Meng An, who was guarding against Min Guili being bewitched by Bai Shuangshuang, also followed. She wanted to guard against Bai Shuangshuang initially, but when she saw Min Sisi’s biggest stumbling block—Yan Jinyu, her attention was completely diverted.
She began to size Yan Jinyu up. The more she sized her up, the deeper her frown became.
She did have some capital, but she was just a small fry. She only knew how to coax a man like Master Nine who had never interacted with women before. What big deal could she achieve?
If they really crossed swords, she was definitely no match for Sisi.
She wondered why all these men liked this kind of empty vessel who only had looks and no brains!
Meng An’s initial impression of Yan Jinyu was that she was Min Sisi’s greatest stumbling block. She saw that she was more dazzling than she had expected and Yin Jiujin valued her so much, so she was naturally filled with malice towards her.
“I’ve long heard of the eldest daughter of the Yan Family. Seeing you today, you’re indeed a beautiful girl. No wonder you can gain Master Nine’s favor.”
“In North City, Eldest Miss Yan should have never seen such a grand banquet…”
Meng An hurriedly covered her lips as she pretended to have said something wrong. She looked apologetic, but she was actually mocking her. “Oh, I almost forgot. You’ve only been back in North City for half a year. You probably haven’t even attended the banquets of some small families. You should be a little uncomfortable to appear at such an occasion today. I see that you’re about the same age as my daughter. I’ll get her to bring you along later…”
“Mom!” It was none other than Min Nan who interrupted Meng An.
Min Nan carefully glanced at Yan Jinyu, but he saw that she still had the smile on her face. That fear for Yan Jinyu began to emerge from the bottom of his heart and was getting stronger.
Then, he saw Yin Jiujin’s eyes darken. It was clearly a sign of anger…
Hence, when Meng An, Min Guili, and the others looked at Min Nan in confusion, Min Nan wanted to say something to smooth things over so that Yan Jinyu and Yin Jiujin wouldn’t pursue the matter.
However, there were too many people who sided with Yan Jinyu here, so they didn’t give him a chance at all.
Xi Fengling swayed her waist and walked over seductively, “Yo, Mrs. Min, you’re mocking our Beauty Yu. You’re secretly mocking our Beauty Yu for not being worldly!”
Two people walked in together.
